2018 Nissan Sentra

The Nissan Sentra continues to be one of the brand's top sellers and most recognized nameplates -- a mainstay in the compact sedan segment for more than 35 years and seven generations.

For the 2018 model year, Sentra receives a number of enhancements designed to up its already strong desirability equation -- including the continuation of the high value SR Midnight Edition Package.

The Sentra exterior design is elegant, modern and refined, reflecting a "professional" character targeted at upwardly bound buyers who aspire to drive something more upscale than other designs in the segment. Exterior features include chrome door handles and chrome window accents, and available heated outside mirrors with integrated turn signals.

The 2018 Sentra exterior combines a sense of sportiness with its refined style and proportions. Key features of the Sentra exterior include a bold front fascia, grille, fenders, hood and signature boomerang-shaped headlights. LED low-beam headlights with LED signature accents are offered on Sentra SR and Sentra SL grades. In the rear, the boomerang-shaped taillights add a more premium appearance.

The intuitive interior layout emphasizes driver control and exceptional seat comfort for all occupants. The high-quality interior design features materials not usually found in compact vehicles, including soft-touch instrument panel and door armrests and available leather-appointed seating.

All 2018 Sentra models (except SR Turbo and Sentra NISMO) utilize a fuel-efficient 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine mated to an advanced Xtronic transmission with sub-planetary gear. A 6-speed manual transmission is also available with the Sentra S grade. The engine is rated at 124 horsepower (130 horsepower S 6MT) and 125 lb-ft of torque (128 lb-ft S 6MT).
